Sorry, my fault. I subscribed to a few different lists which I thought would be interested in this, and then sent one mail which bcc'd them - assuming that the list servers in question would handle the rest. Again, if you have any questions about this package set, I'd be delighted to answer them. I've had a few come in so far, so I'll take the chance to summarise them here: - You can browse the list of packages here: http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/el6/2014Q2/x86_64/All/ - They aren't in RPM format, but pkgsrc (the system used to build them) does have pluggable backend support, and there was an unfinished GSOC project to implement RPM support a few years back. If someone is interested it would be fantastic to see this finished so we can provide them as RPMs via yum instead. - pkgsrc is branched every 3 months, and from that we generate the binary packages and provide a new package set, so every quarter there is a fresh update of new packages.
